Sources indicate that discussions are underway with rival airlines regarding AirAsia's financial situation. Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air are among the airlines involved in these talks.

These airlines have expressed a willingness to expand their operations to absorb AirAsia's routes and passengers. However, they prefer to do so through organic expansion rather than acquiring AirAsia's entire business.

Further details about these discussions and the potential implications for AirAsia are available from the source. The talks suggest that Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air are exploring options to potentially increase their market share.
